Oboto features a unique cognitive architecture:
Oboto can be embedded as a library in your own Node.js applications:
npm install @sschepis/oboto
import { AiMan } from '@sschepis/oboto';
const ai = new AiMan({ workingDir: process.cwd() });
// Execute a task
const result = await ai.execute('Create a REST API for user management');
// Design then implement
const { design, result: impl } = await ai.designAndImplement('Add authentication middleware');
// Stream responses
await ai.executeStream('Refactor the database layer', (chunk) => {
process.stdout.write(chunk);
});
// Register custom tools
ai.registerTool(schema, handler);
The package provides several subpath imports for granular access:
// Main library entry — AiMan, Oboto, adapters, structured dev modules
import { AiMan, Oboto, config } from '@sschepis/oboto';
// Adapters only — for custom LLM/status/memory implementations
import { ConsoleStatusAdapter, NetworkLLMAdapter, MemoryAdapter } from '@sschepis/oboto/adapters';
// Programmatic server — create an Express server with the AiMan API
import { createServer } from '@sschepis/oboto/server';
const app = createServer({ workingDir: process.cwd() });
app.listen(3000);
// Plugin system — manage plugins programmatically
import { PluginManager, PluginLoader } from '@sschepis/oboto/plugins';
You can create a standalone API server programmatically:
import { createServer } from '@sschepis/oboto/server';
const app = createServer({ workingDir: '/path/to/workspace' });
app.listen(3000, () => console.log('Oboto API running on port 3000'));
// POST /api/execute — Execute a task
// POST /api/execute/stream — Stream a task (SSE)
// POST /api/design — Generate a design document
// POST /api/implement — Implement a design
See the full Library API Reference for details.
The Chrome extension enables full browser automation:
chrome://extensions and enable Developer modechrome-extension/ directoryFeatures include tab management, DOM interaction, CDP debugging, cookie/storage access, and real-time event streaming. See Chrome Extension README.
Key configuration options in .env:
| Variable | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
AI_MODEL | gpt-4o | AI model to use |
AI_PROVIDER | auto-detect | Provider: openai, gemini, anthropic, lmstudio |
AI_TEMPERATURE | 0.7 | Response creativity |
AI_MAX_TOKENS | 4096 | Max response tokens |
AI_MAX_TURNS | 100 | Max conversation turns per execution |
Route specific task types to different models for cost/quality optimization:
ROUTE_AGENTIC=gemini-2.5-flash
ROUTE_REASONING_HIGH=gemini-2.5-pro
ROUTE_REASONING_LOW=gemini-2.0-flash
ROUTE_SUMMARIZER=gemini-2.0-flash
API keys can be managed through the Secrets Vault UI (Cmd+K → "Secrets Vault"). Secrets are AES-256-GCM encrypted at rest in .secrets.enc. Priority: Shell env vars > Vault secrets > .env file > defaults.
npm test
Tests use Jest with --experimental-vm-modules for ESM support. Test files are located alongside source in __tests__/ directories.
We welcome contributions! Please see the Structured Development Guide to understand how we use the SYSTEM_MAP.md to manage features.
